new-wave tattoo newwavetattoo.co.uk/introPP.h­tm , out the back of muswell hill (middle of no-where actually). all of them are really really good, hence also really busy. funny as the guy who did roberto's work in brazil, visits there over summer. my recent piece was by wayne, but my large shoulder sleeve was done by silvia.

alright, i'm liking what i'm seeing from new-wave tattoo (except for all the 'spurs pieces they did).
i'm looking to get john tenniel's illustration of lewis carroll's jabberwocky over my entire left ribs.

60pounds/hour is considered a reasonable price? (that's not to come off as me thinking it's expensive or cheap since i genuinely don't know how tattoo pricing in the UK goes)

Yeah i really like Family Business at the moment, think im gonna get some stuff there soon. Frith street and Into U are always awesome too. Gonna hang around on sat and Sun probably, cant afford to go in but street drinking and chilling is a certainty

that looks like a fucking pen drawing!
one of my friends back home, his dad is from the tottenham area and calls up my friend most saturday mornings at like 6am boston time to tell him about the latest match. i don't think i'll get into an argument with him, as i've had my fill of football-related hate thrown at me last weekend.
i'm really digging what i'm seeing on the family business site.
smeear - can you give any personal experiences regarding flaming 8? pics?
conan and rideordie - personal experiences?

and i take it that for most reputable places with good artists i'll be looking at about 60pounds/hour?

A friend of mine works in family business tattoo (myspace.com/domholmestattoo) and she will be working at the convention too. I think she works at £70 an hour which i think for central london is a genrally normal price.
She has tattooed quite alot of my friends but not me. But she is putting out some nice clean tattoos.
Have a look at the myspace page and see what you think.
